A group of young adults geared up for a fundraising challenge to buy a new minibus.

Sapphire Partnership, a Bolton-based charity that supports young adults with additional learning needs, held a fundraising event at Leverhulme Park.

The event was held to raise money towards a new minibus. The young adults collectively cycled over 300 laps of the running track at the park.

Volunteers from Wheels For All, another local charity, supported the event by providing adapted bicycles which meant that all of the young adults could take part.

A spokeswoman from Sapphire Partnership said: “This collaborative event promoted the importance of keeping moving and having fun in the community with friends.
